Donald Trump Responds to Anti-Immigrant Attack in Boston

HeadlineAug 24, 2015

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has responded to the case of two brothers in Boston accused of attacking a 58-year-old Hispanic man with a metal pole and urinating on his face. Police say that when the brothers were arrested, he told them, “Donald Trump was right — all these illegals need to be deported.” On Friday, Trump tweeted, “Boston incident is terrible. We need energy and passion, but we must treat each other with respect. I would never condone violence.” Trump drew 20,000 people at his speech on Friday night in Mobile, Alabama, although campaign organizers had expected as many as 35,000. Bernie Sanders still holds the record for audience size at campaign rallies in the 2016 race.
